However, two core problems concerning the circadian rhythm transition re- mains unresolved. First, there is controversy concerning the activity pattern of the ancestral primate （Heesy and Ross, 2001; Tan et al., 2005）. Second, the transition process for circadian rhythm in primate evolutionary history is unre- solved. Although most research suggests that primates trans- formed from a nocturnal to a diurnal circadian rhythm in the lineage leading to the common ancestor of the anthropoids or the haplorrhines （anthropoids and tarsier） （Ross, 2000; Heesy and Ross, 2001）, evidence has been insufficient to determine whether this occurred in the lineage leading to the common ancestor of the haplorrhines or the anthroooids.展开更多

It has been a day for ancestor worship, mourning for the dead, and burning paper money to honor the deceased. The Hungry Ghost Festival and New Year’s Eve, Qingming Festival, and Chongyang Festival (which will be introduced in detail later in this magazine) are the traditional festivals in which Chinese people pay tribute to their ancestors, each having their own characteristics. As an ancient Chinese traditional festival, it has a history of thousands of years.展开更多

It is a day on which the final resting places of one’s family ancestors are swept clean and sacrifices are offered for the souls of the departed. As people always go out on excursions on this day, it is also called the Spring Outing Day. Qingming Festival falls around April 5 on the Gregorian calendar, about a fortnight after the Spring Equinox.展开更多

For a given query Q with m keywords, we propose to use stable matches as the basis for SLCA computation, where each stable match M consists of m nodes that belong to the m distinct keyword inverted lists of Q. M satisfies that no other lowest common ancestor （LCA） node of Q can be found to be located after the first node of M and be a descendant of the LCA of M, based on which the operation of locating a stable match can skip more useless nodes. We propose two stable match based algorithms for SLCA computation, i.e., BSLCA and HSLCA. BSLCA processes two keyword inverted lists each time from the shortest to the longest, while HSLCA processes all keyword inverted lists in a holistic way to avoid the problem of redundant computation invoked by BSLCA. Our extensive experimental results verify the performance advantages of our methods according to various evaluation metrics.展开更多

We compute the joint distribution of the random variables： the time to the most recent common ancestor （MRCA）, the size of the current population, and the size of the population just before MRCA. We obtain the bottleneck effect as well. The distribution of the number of the oldest families is also established. These generalize the results obtained by Y. T. Chen and J. F. Delmas.展开更多

Based oninformation entropy and the Penna model we define the entropy in the Penna modelto discuss common ancestors and genetic diversity for two reproduction modes withand without mutation. About the problem of common ancestor, we find that all livingindividuals at any time step have a set of common ancestors which belongs to differenttimes. They have the most recent common ancestor and earlier common ancestors.The analysis of genetic diversity shows that the complexity of ecosystems is caused bymutations and there is no contribution of sexual reproduction to conserving geneticdiversity at long time scales. Moreover, in stable environment genetic diversity inasexual reproduction mode is higher than that in the sexual case.展开更多

It is the first time that the cultural remains of Wangyoufang type is found above the Liangzhu cultural remains which comes from East Henan Province, providing previous materials for researching cul-ture evolution around Taihu Lake. Samples were taken from the immature soil layer and cultural layers of Guangfulin relics for phytolith analysis. According to the systemic re-search for the archaeological remains and phytolith fossil, the phytoliths in Guangfulin relics can be divided into four zones. The development of rice agriculture and living condi-tion of Guangfulin ancestors was discussed based on the ex-isting rice fan-shaped phytolith, rice shell phytolith, diatom fossil and archaeology evidence in the same layer. The Guangfulin relics has gradually developed since a high sea level 5000 years ago, and the broad rice agriculture has si-multaneously developed. The newly re-excavated relics pro-vides valuable materials for the research of ancestors and ancient culture in Shanghai.展开更多
